Sarah woke up the next day feeling groggy and tired. She rolled over looked out the window watching the rays of the sun just peek out over the horizon. The sight made Sarah roll back over in bed and begin to think again about sleep. As she moved however her matres became uncomfortable, the straw in odd lumps, the sheets suddenly all bunched up and her night-dress twisting across her in an awkward and over bearing way. After flailing around for a few minutes she finally found a comfortable position, though ironically all the movement had shaken the sleepiness from her body. As she turned over Sarah's eyes fell to the desk near her bed and all the crumpled paper and tissue on it. Soon she remembered everything about the past few days and began thinking firesly about all of it. Her mind starting out at a slow unfuctionable state and gradually working up to the fast paced thoughts she was used to.

What if her courter came today? WHo was he anyways? WHat would she do? SHould she go with him or say no? What if they went out of the house? Would someone come with them? Why was she so concerned about all of this? Why in the world had she told everything she had to James the night before?

As curious as it was Sarah had found that her conversation with James the previous night had really helped her. It felt good to be ale to talk to someone about everything. In England Sarah had had a number of friends whom she had confided in, however they had all been girls of her own age. She had always figured that it would not do to speak with James as he was a man, but she realized that there was still great value in speaking with someone (male or female) who was ones own age. Yes it was always good to talk to Henri though of course some things were to adult for him. And Moses gave great advice but she always worried about sounding silly around him, as though her insecurities were not really worth notice. However talking to James had been different. SHe never thought about JAmes thinking of courting and marriage and worrying about all the things that she herself had.

Sarah began to feel the warmth of the rising sun on the back of her neck and soon sighed getting out of bed and getting dressed so that she could go down stairs and begin the arduous process of making breakfast. She looked through the pantry for all the ingredients that she needed. Usually Sarah disliked making breakfast, it was early and never was quite as well appreciated as the other meals. At the print shop people ate and then quickly moved on to working sometimes without a thought to what exactly they had just eaten. Though today Sarah felt like making breakfast was okay. She was up early anyways, could see the sunrise through the window and it gave her time to think about things in solitude.

James had proved to be so different at heart than Sarah had expected. She always saw him as a crude rebel who only cared about what was right in front of him. Never had she thought that he ever thought about marriage or anything real or adult or in the future. Just as she considered this James himself walked into the kitchen yawning.

"Hi Sarah. Where's breakfast?"

"It's not quite done yet it needs to cook a little bit more" Sarah said looking into the big brick oven. There was the James she knew; always thinking about what he wanted and what was imediate. With the comment though James shrugged, turned and went into the print room where, Sarah could hear, he had started to set type. Soon Sarah heard Moses and Henri come down as well and go talk with James as he finished setting. Sarah looked into the tin container near the edge of the fire and determined that the biscuits were ready and the porridge in the large pot over the fire was hot. She walked into the print room watching the three guys standing around looking and silent. All Sarah could think about was how men so easily were silent. Women always would make small talk with each other.

"Breakfast is ready when you guys want" Sarah said in the corner. Though she said it quietly her voice seemed to echo in the silence.

"Finally!" Said James. He said it with a smile, clearly showing he did appreciate the act of making breakfast, however his comment sent Sarah right back to the idea that he was an immature boy. She gave him a look to suggest such and he had the decency to look rather embarrassed. James felt like Sarah was able to make him feel guilty or embarrassed a lot of the time. He therefore sat in silence as he quickly ate his breakfast, making sure to tell Sarah how very very very very good (REally James just one very will do fine!) the meal was.

James after practically inhaling his breakfast stood up to go back into the work room.

"Now why are you in such a hurry" Asked Moses calmly though with a small bite to his words that made James stop where he was going and turn around.

"I wanted to go and finish setting type for that story we have." He didnt want to admit how excited about the story he was, seeing how Sarah had written it, and he always had a feud with her over writing abilities.

"And why are you so eger to leave the table without saying a word to any of us about anything?" Moses asked in the same voice

"Look Moses I just want to finish it okay?" Said James reluctantly. Moses gave him a look that was clearly pressing for information. "I just think its really good okay? Why dont you want me to go and set the type anyways?" James could see the look that Sarah gave him when he said how he liked the story, but he didnt care.

"Well I wanted to talk to you all for a moment." Said Moses with a seriousness that made James reluctantly sit back down. It seemed like they were having a lot more meal time conversations lately and James didnt know how he felt about it.

"Well as we all know most likely Sarah's courter will arrive today and wish to see her. I think it would be best to know what the plan is if that happens. Now Sarah you can make any choices you like. But again I think it would be good if we all knew what we should do when he arrives." Moses had a way of making Sarah feel as though she had to make a choice about it all right then.

"Well.." Said Sarah feeling her face getting really red. "I think that I must agree to see him. However with all the newspaper work going on right now I think it would be best if we went for a walk or did something outside instead of sitting in the shop." Sarah tried so hard to say this all breezily and with a smile, however she felt like she came off sounding anxious and grimacing.

"Sarah I dont know that you can do that" Said Moses quickly still eating his breakfast. This made Sarah's stomach flop. She was worried that if they stayed in the shop there would be nothing to talk about and no way to get the man to leave. If they walked around they would have to be back in a reasonable amount of time and there would be things to look at that could spark a conversation.

"Why must we stay in the shop Moses?" Sarah asked a small plead in her voice.

"Well since this is the first time you will meet this man it would only be proper for you to have a chaperone. If you go out you will be by yourself, however were all here in the shop if you two sit here." Moses said clearly as he began to clear the plates signifying that the conversation was over. "So we all know whats happening, if he comes show him to the side room and get Sarah" Sarah's face fell and she looked down to her lap not able to say anything.

"Wait" Called James after the exiting Moses. "What if I take them out?"

Everyone's face whipped over to look at James as though they had not heard him. Sarah was in shock but had a slight smile.

"What?" Said James looking annoyed at Henri. "Ill hook up the cart to the horse and I can drive them around for a little. If you dont mind about where you go Sarah I actually need to pick up a few things in town. Then they can be outside, I wont disturb you guys since Im driving but Ill be there as a chaperone."

For a moment there was nothing but silence. Sarah became excited at the prospect of getting to be out of the shop and was surprised and touched by James' offer to drive them. Moses was giving James a bizar look but he didnt care. He felt bad at the look Sarah had when Moses said she couldnt go out. He remembered their conversation from the night before and thought how scared and nervous Sarah was about all of this.

"Alright then" Said Moses a little reluctantly as he turned and walked out of the room.

Happiness overwhelmed Sarah at James' kind offer. "Oh thank you James! Thank you!" She yelled jumping up and quickly hugging him in her excitement. With that she ran upstairs leaving James and Herni in the kitchen. Henri helping himself to another biscuit and James in silence not sure about what he had just done.
